62 VOEAOEA VOE-OEA helps teach office skills fOffice Education Association OEAJ is an organization that stems from the Vocational Office Education class. VOE, taught by Margaret Blanton, prepared students for future jobs as they learned various skills including in- terviewing for jobs, learning telephone techniques, making out payrolls and fil- ing reports. This two semester course began with a first semester lab involving pre- employment training. Students in the co-op portion of the class went to school only half a day before leaving for work in the afternoon. Most VOE students were members of OEA and they participated in various activities throughout the year. At Homecoming the group sold spirit chains and for Thanksgiving, members collected canned goods for baskets to give to needy families in the communi- ty. They also sold calendars and notepads to students. OEA attended competition in March, April and May. The money from their fund raisers went to help pay for the cost of expenses for contest. The group also made a monetary contribution to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Penny Lofland and Pamela Lopez, juniors, count the spirit chain links to see which class is in the lead. The seniors won the contest. f ,6 A I V , , nu., 1 .ot inn l A 'fi g 'X f. Seniors Lisa Stluka, Sandra Coffey, Lisa Wheeler, Mary Cearley and Litza Morales discuss fundrais- ..-A XM it y g M...
